Things like, "set firefox as your default browser" and "open firefox when you start your computer?".

I don't want pop-ups from ANYBODY, but especially not from the browser. It defeats the whole purpose of blocking pop-ups if the browser itself is interrupting me with garbage I dont need.

How do I turn these off? There don't appear to be any settings, and every google search brings up disabling pop-ups for every other site.

Very often while navigating around the website of a tool I use, I get an intrusive pop-up in the lower right corner. A screen shot is attached.

I first approached the website owner, but they explained it's a browser issue, no a website issue. They did, though, suggest that clearing cookies and cached might help ... But it didn't.

Is there any way to suppress that?

When I am working with several open applications I sometimes need to slide the browser window over to I can see both open apps at once. Now when i pull the browser window partially off screen to the right it bounces back at full size. This is frustrating and time consuming to resize again. is there a setting to turn this feature off?

Instructions begin with "Click on the three horizontal lines and select OPTIONS." My updated version of Firefox does not have OPTIONS. Reinstalling Firefox did not solve the problem. In OPTIONS, PDF is supposed to be in the list. Opening a pdf file in Firefox did not cause an edit option to appear.

I suddenly started getting a flood of messages informing me of various security risks and that i needed to click a link to sort this out. Needless to say, I DID NOT click any links. I am only getting these messages when I open Firefox. The messages all link to "securebotshield.co.in". I ran Malwarebytes but it does not pick up anything. I am running the latest version of Firefox on a Windows 11 machine. Please can you help me get rid of this menace?

Thanks

Nefarious notifications via Mozilla or at least pruportedly from Mozilla.

Running Windows 11. Receiving notifications from Firefox that indicate system warnings and viruses found. I have run several scans using Norton and there are no viruses. This notification is enticing me to click to remove the errors, which seems to clearly be a phishing scam, but I have never seen this as a notification from my browser as opposed to an email. When I try an option to "disable notifications", Norton blocks it due to it being identified as a dangerous "blacklist URL". I can't find a mozilla setting to block this.

The URL is long but what I can see is the following. via d3nt17anaffc73eqftbg.owx-adguard.pro

Hello: FF dev 150b5,w11p. With this v 150 there's a new irritant that I would like to stop, please. That's the sudden (starting w/v150 again) appearance on lower L corner, of a popup window, which may be interactive. That is, this thing is so new I can't say more about it except that I didn't change anything to make this thing appear, & this didn't happen in prev.versions.

I looked in settings & the only thing on keyword "popup" goes to, in "search results", is: "block popups & 3rd party redirects." I already had that choice checked from previous versions (that is, do block). But this new popup appeared (unasked) anyway.

Is there an extension that will stop these? If so, what keyword(s) do I put into the "search extensions" box to find the extension(s)?

Also, w/this new "wonder" of unasked-for popups -- is this another "coming w/AI" feature I will have to live with?

I did a search here on "popups" before posting,but came up w/nothing relevant.

Thank you.

In previous versions of Firefox (up to version 133), it was possible to automatically trigger printing of a PDF file by loading it into an iframe from a sandboxed iframe and call print. However, starting with version 134, this no longer works.

Is there any other way to automatically trigger the print dialog for a PDF file in Firefox, similar to how it can be done in Chrome/Edge (e.g., by opening the PDF in a new window and directly triggering the print dialog without additional button clicks)?

I'm using an out of date Windows 10 laptop. I am aware of the Windows 10/11 thing. I know. I've got my own reasons for not updating this one, it's not my only device. I get it. I understand. I know. My settings are how they are on purpose. I do not need to be nagged in this fashion.

How do I turn this off? I can't find it in settings. It's not appearing on any of my other browsers. It's just Firefox. Please help, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.
